LAUNCHING: 30th November 2023

We will be joined by microbial ecologist Jake Robinson who guided this report.

The report explores the pathway between the external microbiome, our gut environment and the brain. It will be presented as a “position paper” to understand how displacement and environmental pollutants disrupt the pathway and how this disruption relates to planetary health and Indigenous urban health. 

In this reading club, we will discuss as a group the data analysis from the 2021 data study on this intersectional demographic and the suggested action points for improving their relationship with their social, economic, and urban infrastructure.

LAUNCHING 16 MAY

We will be co-learning about the mental stress and burden of air pollution that coincides with our report earlier in the year.

LAUNCHING 9 MAY

This event is a chance to introduce the purpose of the Macro Environmental Data for Health Justice (MED for HJ) project as well as introduce the first two supporting documents: Steps to Macro Environmental Data for Health Justice and An Macro Environmental Data Ecosystem for Health Justice.

The agenda for the year will be discussed as well as the opportunity to give feedback on how this project can support current campaigns and further elaborate on the role of key players, such as funder, data specialists, and health justice journalists.

This Reading Club event is based on the research article by Dr. Marie Müller from 2022. A group discussion will take place unpacking insights from the article and explore depression, the most common mental health disorder worldwide, is more than a mental disorder—it is a physical disorder too.
